Great food, friendly service. But for the non-English speaking be warned you'll be a little challenged. But I still reccomend this place and when I'm back in town I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Lovely local restaurant, with very fresh food. A carafe of wine, freshly made pasta and veal main dishes were all just what we were looking for. A taste of Rome. It is not easy to find and you need to observe carefully, but once inside it feels very warm and homely. Will definitely return!
